  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A man is accused of leaving a young child unsupervised which resulted in her walking alone down a busy road in the Spring area.

According to court documents, on September 19 a 3-year-old girl was found wandering in the 24000 block of Aldine Westfield, a four-lane roadway with a posted speed limit of 45mph. Police say the girl was alone and wandering down the street about one mile from her residence.

Court documents state investigators brought the girl back to her residence and spoke with a 10-year-old boy who said he just arrived home from school and that his older brother, Joshua Montel Stephens, was in charge of watching the girl. Police say about 10 minutes later, Stephens walked up to the residence. They say Stephens said he walked to the store to get some food for the girl and the 10-year-old boy and that he admitted to leaving the girl home alone.

Stephens, 19, is charged with endangering a child.
